Kalamunda York

York and Kalamunda are two Western Australian areas with very different profiles. York is far older, with a typical resident aged 56 and 33.4% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, the typical resident in Kalamunda is 40. Kalamunda has much higher typical weekly household incomes at $1,866, compared to $1,127 in York. This wealth gap is consistent with a larger share of people in Kalamunda earning $3,000 or more per week (23.2% versus 10.4% in York) and a higher percentage of residents finishing Year 12.

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. They also share a similar proportion of people with no religion, around 44%, and a similar amount of rental properties. While they share these traits, the gap in age has widened since 2011, and the difference in typical income has also grown.
